This morning Hudson the wonder dog alerted us to the presence of some people in the yard, though she wasn't in full-on alert mode: This was more like "your friends who are allowed in the yard are here." This is because it was the third visit in a short span from the tree guys who were unexpectedly hauling more debris out of our yard. They explained that they were told their Friday job called to complain they had not done an adequate clean-up, and they assumed it was us because their other job was just a light trimming. I assured them that they had done a bang-up job, and we had lodged no complaints. Today I'll call their boss and tell them how great they were, just to set the record straight.

On Diablo 3, is it just down to me getting into the late 50's level or has the AH (EU here) gone strange? I'd never paid more than 50k for an item and suddenly it's hundreds of thousands for trivial stuff like an enchantress focus. And the prices are all over the place, something goes for maybe 250k then something slightly better is into the millions.

Prices have probably gone up as lvl 60 inferno players are trying to recoup their repair bills. That and I'm sure the RMAH doesn't help since everyone seems to be listing decent gear for $1.25, hoping they'll get a bite.

Seriously though, without reading the rest of the post... that is one of the things I'd be wary off. You hire some guys to do something: tree stuff, roof stuff, security-system stuff, etc. then they know the layout of your home and perhaps your schedule.

Having them "stop by" unannounced would give me pause to wonder what they were doing there.-

That's why you should always mention you work at home.

Right. The whole "OMG! Fake boobs aren't real!" schtick is getting really old. Especially when they complain about some boobs that really do exist. They've never seen a stripper in real life, apparently. Granted, a lot of real life boobs are fake, but they still exist.

So I decided to jump back into Skyrim with some mods (having exhausted myself of Dragon's Dogma), and lo and behold after all this time Bethesda still never fixed two of the most glaring issues, favoriting while dual wielding and the interface not showing rebinded keys. Unbelievable.

Lol... sorry for the cliffhanger.

Those are good concerns to have when dealing with workers. In this case, this is a bonded company we've dealt with before. They also have never entered the house, so I'm less concerned than one might normally be. I think it was all an honest mistake.
